Will modifying car rims result in penalty points?
1 Answers
Modifying rims is illegal as it alters the registered characteristics of the vehicle, and thus will incur penalty points. Below is relevant information about vehicle modifications: 1. Required materials for the procedure: The materials needed for color change procedures are minimal, including the vehicle's license, the owner's ID card, and the vehicle registration certificate (green book). If a friend handles the procedure on your behalf, their ID card must also be presented. 2. Permissible modifications by the DMV: Body color changes are allowed but must be reported within ten days; wheel rims and brake calipers must maintain the same dimensions as the original vehicle; front and rear bumpers can be modified but require reporting to the authorities.
